Contracting out of S2P

[milanbenes]

of course if you want to retire(*) at forty you'll have to be doing .Net on the NHS <TOOT<TOOT> gravy train like me and DimPrawn.

(*) retirement meaning having the choice to work or not and to choose what work

I recently contracted back into SERPS and now prefer to invest privately for my future. Plus, being "The Son of God" has its compensations...

"and now prefer to invest privately for my future",


me too, I'd rather be responsible for my financial failures
than some lying cheating IFA !

You forgot "incompetent".

Just as managed ISA funds don't perform any better than trackers, IFAs cannot tell what pensions are going to be good investments down the line.

looking at the bigger picture, considering the cost of living and household expenses, mortgage, car, food, going out it is difficult to see how anybody in the Saaafff East with a combined income of less than 150k a year can make anything more than a dent in the kind of financial provision which needs to be made for a comfortable retirment from 50 to 55

Retiring in Laaandaaan??? Now, that's really insane. Naa naa, I will be closer to your Czech Republic and perhaps might be visiting you in a weekend (don't worry, drinks on me ).

Or else... back to sunny Italy....

Regarding .Net.... still miss 4 exams for my MCSD.... will see..... .NET is the future, as you well know

I like Vilnius (I know it's not that close but I said closer, not close). Have to hope that the prices will not go up crazy as they did in the last few years.

I was a permie for Bank of America about 6 years ago, and went to a pensions meeting, the general idea was to retire and be able to live you needed to have a pension of at least 500k. The amount you have to save to get that is silly!
